              The Best Time-Lapse You Will Never Be Able To Create

              It seems every day someone is creating an interesting timelapse that shows something we’ve never seen before. This one comes from the International Space Station as it orbits around the earth at night. The video was made from using data from the Gateway To Astronaut Photography Of Earth and stitched together with the open software Virtual Dub. It’s pretty amazing how much light pollution makes it to each exposure and look carefully for bursts of lightning over the Pacific Ocean. Props to the person who spots the satellite that makes the frame as well!

                Hmm, pretty sure that’s the most amazing 55 seconds of video I’ve ever seen. In fact I’m certain.

                That’s part of the space station.  The Satellite is the only moving “star” in the whole video :)
